So - another resin stop-gap kit?

No, it’ll be the old resin kit if it’s resin (which it seems to be). There’s a plastic melee kit scheduled for spring.

I think that's just a squad of Blackshields that someone threw together for pictures and not indicative of any model releases.

One thing I hope they do is re-release the old Blackshield transfers...

That was a great transfer sheet. Wouldn't mind some resin upgrade bits for some of those warbands either (i.e. shoulderpads with raised insignia).

Aren't they just the old FW mkiii power weapons set? mace and hammer look about right to me?

i think the double handed chainsaw is the one from the despoiler stopgap resin kit

I think you're right.

Well that’s a relief. The release of those earlier stop-gap resin close combat weapons was a distinct low point for Heresy 2.0.

New sentinels

A little less impressive than the armoured one, if you don't mind me saying.

Here's a heavier version

I like the first but the second variant looks more orky made.

I love them. I want lots of them.

6 per unit is heaps. I wonder if it'll be 3 to a box. Potentially 42 in an army is a hilarious thought.

The heavy flamer one is going to be so amazing as soon as they remove reactions from the game

It's an alright kit, I hope the two pack is cheaper than two 40k ones.

It says 2 per box

I very much like these, the heavy version gives me the feeling of a duckling:


Also in case we didn't have confirmation where the rules will come from yet:

Rules for both kinds of Hermes squadron – and the larger Aethon Heavy Sentinel – will be found in the upcoming campaign book, The Battle for Beta-Garmon.

That is a dumbass design. I think even the AT-RT did the concept better.

Love these stupid lil things.

It's adorable!

Gah jeezus. How'd I miss that!?

Solar Auxila stole the Ash Wastes vehicle slot from Delaque it looks like.

These little guys aren't going to be fast moving scouts, they look like infantry support units. More mobile than rapiers, but small enough to fit pretty much where an ogryn or castaferrum dreadnought could

From a design point of view it looks pretty good. Particularly for a warhammer design, it looks like they actually put some thought into whether it can stay upright and balanced, as well as articulated the legs.
Given how impractical 'walker' type vehicles actually are, this is a cut above the usual nonsense.

I want three of the heavy version, I'm going to call them Huey, Dewey and Louie after the robots in Silent Running

Lowkey adorable

They're both awesome looking!

So, how many will the Auxilia be able to bring on a Zone Mortalis mission?

Article is constantly saying fast and scout.

The heavy one is more of infantry support ones.

It's propperly fugly that it perfectly fits. I love it, but won't field it. Because malcador > everything else solar auxilia.

Wonder how easy it'll be to swap the crew over for an Enforcer torso? Every model being a Necromunda model after all, they would be perfect for riot control in the wastes.

Spoiler:

You'd think putting the promethium tank behind the armor to not make it a big target would even cross the mind of an Imperial engineer. But maybe not.
Easily my favourite Sentinel design.

Someone tweaked it on Reddit to see what it would look like with the legs stretched taller
